AC Milan will turn to Gareth Bale if they fail in their bid to bring Marcelo in from Real Madrid.

La Gazzetta dello Sport claim that the Rossoneri are keeping a watchful eye on Tottenham’s flying Welshman, and could move for the 21-year-old if Jose Mourinho decides to keep faith with Marcelo at Real.

However, Harry Redknapp will not be welcoming of any bid for Bale, who flourished for Spurs in the second-half of the season, and played a crucial part in their clinching of a Champions League spot.

Milan though are keen to recruit, and could test Spurs’ resolve to hang on to their star with a £10million bid.
